[QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6797969, member: 289533"] This is a very good question and I will answer it for pleasure, not because of the VIP Chips. Chris had demonstrated that anyone, absolutely anyone can be good at poker and that caused a domino effect in the whole world by that time where people where somehow suspicious about poker. If now people don't believe imagine back then, where people had the belief that only those who have some ultimate imaginary skill could possibly be good at poker or as usual it was a "rigged" game as slot machines. The effect was quite clear because I remember that in 2004, Cristiano Ronaldo e Roberto Carlos were making propaganda for PokerStars. By the time I had no idea about poker but that was the glorious and golden epoch to play this game, most of rooms were giving away $10, $20, $30 dollars for anyone who signed up to the poker room and that increased the amount of curious people and of course, the amount of recreational players. Chris is a one time hero of poker, although this happens every time nowadays, everyday we have information that a newcomer got there, in the Sunday Million or another major poker event, and we own that to this guy who had nothing to lose but had a lot of discipline and psychological control to face a bunch of satellites and finally get there. Chris is an inspiration for many players, even me, because he had demonstrated that dreams are possible, that we must fight for what we believe and we should never be ashamed of our current social position, because when we are dealt two hole cards, our social position means nothing.
